Low-volume structural frames for a research robot

Large-format printed frames that avoided welded assembly, printed as single parts on the G3D Industrial.

Client: Research programme

Details

Welded aluminium frames needed a fixture per variant. With variants changing weekly, fixturing dominated the schedule.

G3D moved the geometry into the print: single-piece large-format parts, printed to a shared fixture-free process.

Variant changes became a file revision instead of a fixture build.
